Summary: Vehicle description: motor homes and travel trailers equipped with norcold refrigerator cooling units model numbers N841, N821, N641, and N621. These refrigerators can experience a cooling system leak caused by operation in the AC electric mode. If a leak occurs, the cooling performance of the refrigerator will deteriorate, requiring immediate replacement of the cooling unit.
Consequence: Extended operation of a leaking cooling unit in the AC electric mode can result in a fire.
Remedy: Norcold will inspect and replace the refrigerator cooling units. Norcold will conduct the owner notification. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact norcold service center at 1-800-767-9101 or winnebago at 1-641-585-3535.

Has your Winnebago been repaired?

Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.

Check your VIN with NHTSA

NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Winnebago dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
